Comparison of Functional Outcomes between Hip Hemiarthroplasty and Internal Fixation in Patients with Hip Surgeries.

This is an Observational Study(Cross-sectional). There are many studies which have compared assessed the functional outcomes in patients with hip surgeries. But we have not found any study which compares the functional outcomes at 6 weeks post hip surgeries. Hence, we determined to compare the functional outcomes at 6 weeks post-surgery between Hip hemiarthroplasty and internal fixation surgeries. The patients with hip surgery that are coming at 6 weeks to the Orthopedic OPD for follow up will be approached. They will be explained about the study and those who are willing to participate will be requested to sign an informed consent form. After signing the consent, the participant information sheet will be given to them. Subjects will be screened and assessed and those fulfilling the inclusion and exclusion criteria will be recruited for the study. After this, the participant’s hip abductor strength will be assessed using sphygmomanometer both operated and sound limb. The strength will be measured 3 times for each limb and the average of the 3 trials will be considered. Following this, the modified Harris hip score will be administered to assess the functional outcome of the participants. The data will be statistically analyzed.
